"We're not supposed to be friends, you and me. We're meant to be enemies. Did you know that? " -Bruno to Shmuel

I saw The Boy in Striped Pajamas a few months ago but I feel that it is worth mentioning. There have been so many Holocaust movies lately, but this movie offers the unique perspective of a child. You get to experience the movie through the eyes of  a young boy, Bruno, the son of a Nazi lieutenant colonel. Bruno has quite the imagination, and is bored to death being confined in his house. From his bedroom window, he spots all these people wearing "striped pajamas" (the Jews) and without his parents knowing, he makes friends with a boy his age, Shmuel. I particularly liked this movie because it explored the innocence of the children affected by the Holocaust. Children were completely brainwashed and influenced by their parents, and it really took a brave kid to stand up to what he/she was told. Bruno was at the age which you believe everything your parents say, and it was only because of the extreme awfulness of what he was told and the things he witnessed, that he was forced to reconsider the bulk of his learnings.  Rating: 4/5

So, back at school. There isn't even a chance to ease back in! I started classes today, so far they aren't that bad. I still have my 7 p.m. class though, which I'm dreading. The Terps highly embarrassed us on Saturday, with their 41-point loss Duke. Hopefully we can step it up tomorrow night.
